Catchup!

Caught a ride with the McA express to Brooklyn on Friday afternoon, traipsed around the drizzly yet pizza-filled city looking for magical wedding wear, then hopped back on for a foggy ride back to DC about the same time on Saturday. A terrible companion for the sleepy, foggy ride home, I somehow survived The Mist then promptly unpacked the tons of momfood, stripped and passed out around 3am. Woke up early on Sunday to deal with an estimate from an electrician (who thought he was there to DO the work, not ESTIMATE the work, but whose disappointment was satisfied by a skunky Sam Adams from our July 4th party) and cheered the 'Skins past the Vikings until again crashing at about 1am. Christmas festivities began early Monday and the evening again ended with a crashing thud after midnight services (the kind where they lull you for a few hours with beautiful bell sand hymns and other assorted versions of audio percodan only to then give you a flaming candle to test your mental acuity). Yesterday is a blur of fuzzy gifts and PacMan and some kind of rancid midcycle PMS and this morning it was back to the rat race where I'm playing possum regarding submitting proprietary documents to a contractor "friend" who is trying to get me fired.

It's going to be well into 2009 before I catch up on sleep.
